Under Gods Command
John 13:3-6 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
Jesus was the model servant, and he showed his servant attitude to his disciples. Washing guests feet was a job for a household servant to carry out when guest arrived. But Jesus wrapped a towel around his waist, as the lowliest slave would do, and washed and dried his disciple’s feet. If even he, God in the flesh, is willing to serve, we his followers must also be servants, willing to serve in any way that glorifies God. Are you willing to follow Christ’s example of serving? Whom can you serve today? There is a special blessing for those who not only agree that humbles service is Christ’s way, but who also follow through and do it.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; (6) in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.
